The Remnant King's Royal Pet: The Secret Service Medical Concubine

Chapter 37
When Mu Xue said this, it immediately became clear how aggressive Mu Chu was just now.

The balance in everyone's hearts suddenly tilted towards Mu Xue's direction.

Mrs. An Guohou's face showed a pensive look, "You are still a sensible girl, and you are completely different from the kind of motherless ones!"

After hearing this, Mu Chu sneered, but didn't reply.

She does not admit that Yue Shi is her mother, so what Mrs. An Guohou said is not wrong.

Mu Xue pulled Madam La'an's arm, her eyes were innocent and pure: "Madam, don't embarrass my sister, no matter what, she will become Princess Luo soon!"

As soon as the words Princess Luo were mentioned, everyone present became serious. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from the yard outside. The old lady was carried into the newly built tent in the backyard in a sedan chair. .

Now it is April when the spring flowers are blooming, and the whole garden is full of fragrance. Many wives saw this respected old lady, and gave up watching Mu Chu and Mu Xue, and went up one by one to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

Mu Xue held Mrs. An Guohou's hand, as if they were mother and daughter, intimate.

Mrs. An Guohou glanced at Mu Chu lightly, with a warning in her eyes.

"If you let Mrs. B know that you have bullied Xue'er, Mrs. Ben will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow!"

Mu Chu looked at the back of Madam An Guohou leaving, and didn't take her words to heart, but regarding the performance of Madam An Guohou, I'm afraid she was telling the truth.

It's just that Mu Chu was a little puzzled, Madam An Guohou looked familiar, but in the original owner's memory, there seemed to be a very vague part, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't recall it.

Mu Chu is very confident in her memory, which made her feel a little doubtful. Moreover, after the age of seven, how her head was hit like this, the memory is also not very clear. As for before that, she only Can occasionally see an image or two.

It's just that the original owner was still young at that time, and she probably forgot about it, so she didn't care.

Apart from the wives in the courtyard, all the officials and sons outside also entered the backyard one after another. Originally, only some female relatives could enter here, but today they came to celebrate the old lady's birthday, so they naturally came here to give gifts.

There were more people in the yard, and Qing Ning, who was standing behind Mu Chu, frowned, looked at the big and small bags in front of the old lady, and held the things in her hands with some hesitation.

Mu Chu turned around and saw Qing Ning walking very slowly, and immediately understood her thoughts: "Are you afraid that others will see the things I gave to the old lady and make fun of Miss Ben?"

Qing Ning nodded, what she held was a purse embroidered with the word "Shou", the embroidery was much worse than that of the original owner.

This can't be blamed on Mu Chu, the original owner has a pair of embroidering skillful hands, but it's not Mu Chu's. Mu Chu's hands are not only knives, but also silver needles and traditional Chinese medicine. Where there is time, he can play with such things as female celebrities.

To be able to embroider like this is due to her dedication.

"Don't worry, your lady, I'm not a fool, I can't afford to let them ridicule me once, but your lady is very poor and has no money to compare with them, so I can only find another shortcut!"

Qing Ning was very worried, but knowing Mu Chu's character and having no way to speak, she could only silently follow Mu Chu up the steps.

Concubine Yue was the last to come, but her eldest granddaughter did not salute, and no one else dared to move first.

Concubine Yue was sent to the stands by the stars, and the ladies behind her held a delicate scroll in their hands.

She is full of grace and luxury, and the seven-tailed phoenix crown is shining on her head, as if the phoenix is ​​about to soar to the nine heavens.

The bright red imperial concubine's robe was dragged behind, and four or five court ladies stood on both sides to support her, and every step she took showed a detached aura.

That face was even more beautiful, and it was even more gorgeous under the jewels. She walked to the front of the stage, smiled at the old lady, and held up the scroll: "Grandma, this is the Buddhist scripture that my granddaughter invited for you. I know you like it." The abbot of Mingyue Temple copied the scriptures with his own hands, so my granddaughter went out of the city in person two days ago, so I asked you to come here!"

As soon as Concubine Yue's voice fell, everyone was astonished. Mingyue Temple is Tianqiguo Temple. The old abbot in the temple usually doesn't sell face. Thinking about being used as a congratulatory gift by Concubine Yue now, it can be seen how precious this gift is.

"It's really a blessing for the old lady to have such a filial granddaughter as the imperial concubine!"

"The emperor regards filial piety as the top priority and governs the world. It is really a great fortune for us to be so filial now!"

Greeting voices came and went from below. At this time, Concubine Yue became the main character present. She raised her eyebrows, and a stream of light flashed across her eyes. Her eyes were calm and she did not respond to such a commotion.

Compared with Mu Xue, this point is much stronger.

When the old lady got the scroll, there was a slight change on her rarely smiling face, she was obviously very satisfied with Mu Yue's actions.

"It's still Yue'er who knows what I like. I miss this Buddhist scriptures very much. I didn't expect you to ask for it. It can be seen that you still miss me, grandma!"

Mu Xue smiled in a low voice, covered her lips and said playfully, "Grandma is talking about this. Could it be that only sister misses you, old man, and Xue'er doesn't?"

The old lady's eyes fainted with a smile, and she touched Mu Xue's hand with some deep meaning: "Xue'er is also grandma's good granddaughter!"

Such a scene of kindness and filial piety almost dazzled everyone's eyes. Congratulations and blessings echoed in Mu Chu's ears.

Although the old lady was dissatisfied with the Yue family in every way, she loved Mu Yue and Mu Xue much more than she loved her. She was the only outsider in the Mu family.

Clenching her hands tightly under the sleeves, her current status in this mansion is really embarrassing, why should she ask the old lady to help her?

As far as she knew, the Yue family had an eldest daughter who was a noble concubine in the palace, a younger daughter who was about to become Princess Li, and an eldest son who studied outside for a year and only returned home once a year.

The only son of the Mu family is naturally the old lady's heart, if he comes back, her chances of winning are even slimmer.

There is only one way that is very convenient, and that is for her to admit defeat directly, give up everything, and then wait for the day of marriage with peace of mind.

Mu Chu's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she returned to normal in an instant. If she surrendered now, she would not be Mu Chu.

She didn't want to compete with Yue Shi before, but she couldn't stand someone thinking about her things and looking for trouble for her to make her feel better.

If that's the case, then she will pay back twice as much, it's definitely not her character to endure.

The gift that Mu Xue gave was indeed a Buddha statue. The Buddha statue was very large and exquisitely crafted, and it was also a priceless treasure.

As if deliberately putting Mu Chu in the third place, everyone turned their attention to Mu Chu after the two ladies in front had finished delivering gifts.

Seeing this, Mu Xue smiled slightly: "The gifts prepared by my eldest sister and I are very rough, presumably the second sister's gift must be very delicate, my sister remembers that the second sister has this 80 taels of cash in hand, no matter how much it is given to grandma Whatever gift you prepare, I'm afraid it will surpass me and my eldest sister!"

Mu Xue lowered her eyes slightly, and looked at Mu Chu curiously, but her eyes rolled slightly. If Mu Chu really prepared something, she couldn't possibly not know it, so it was obvious that she was not prepared.

When Mu Xue said this, many people looked in Mu Chu's direction. At the beginning, Mu Chu's dowry was amazing, which aroused the envy and jealousy of many people. What gift to give to the old lady.

Sitting on one side, Yue Shi slightly narrowed his eyes: "Chu'er, what good things did you prepare for your grandma?"

Mu Chu stepped forward and took the purse from Qing Ning's hand behind him.

Everyone watched her movements without blinking, and all guessed what she would come up with.

There were whispers from below, and Mu Chu stood upright on the stage.

She put the purse in her arms in the palm of her hand, and strode up to the old lady.

The old lady looked at her quietly, her face was very calm, without any expression.

Many people looked at it like this, and immediately thought that maybe the old lady was very displeased with this granddaughter.

However, there seemed to be rumors that the old madam had become a backer for the second young lady in the mansion, and everyone was unsure whether it was true or not.

"Grandma, this is a purse embroidered by Chu'er herself!"

Mu Chu put the purse in the palm of his hand and held it in the air.

Everyone was a little surprised by her move.

Although it is said that giving gifts is mainly based on personal wishes, but Mu Chu is the first lady of the prime minister's mansion after all, and there are references to the gifts given by the two ladies, so it can't be too shabby.

But now, no one would have thought that Mu Chu would give the old lady a purse.

Lan Gu, who was standing behind the old lady and serving her, changed her expression.

She had already mentioned Mu Chu before, but she never thought that the eldest lady would lose the chain like this at a critical moment.

When you usually give her a reward, you don't seem to be such a picky person, but how can you do such a shameful move today?
Lan Gu wanted to do Mu Chu a favor, and said with a smile: "Second Miss, I'm afraid there will be congratulatory gifts later, old lady, don't worry!"

Mu Chu knew what Lan Gu meant, but still lowered his head and said, "Chu'er spent several nights making this for grandma!"

The old lady didn't speak for a long time, her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Mu Chu.

She didn't speak, and the scene was silent for a moment. Yue Shi and Mu Xue looked at each other, and used their sleeves to hide the smiles on their faces.

At this moment, there are already many guests and officials standing outside the gate who came to give gifts. Seeing Mu Chu's every move and the scene in front of him, they are all a little surprised. A figure was pushed away from the back of the crowd. After entering, the man raised his head slightly, and a deep look flashed in his eyes.

"Master, isn't that the second young lady of the Mu family?"

The middle-aged man behind him asked with some doubts, and was a little surprised to see the stalemate in front of him.

The man didn't speak, his eyes were half-closed, but he was always watching Mu Chu's every move.

Lan Gu was also shocked, she stepped forward to Mu Chu, and reminded in a low voice: "Second miss, this birthday gift is a big deal, why do you..."

Mu Chu straightened his body, his eyes were solemn, neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no embarrassment on his face.
